VdW materials are a family of materials ranging from semimetal, semiconductor to insulator, and their common characteristic is the layered structure. These features make them widely applied in the fabrication of nano-photonic and electronic devices, particularly, vdW heterojunctions. HBN is the only layered material to date that is demonstrated to contain optically-detected electronic spins, which can benefit the construction of solid qubit and quantum sensor, etc., especially embedded in the nano-layered-devices. To realize this, Rabi oscillation is a crucial step. Here, we demonstrate the Rabi oscillation of V$_text{B}^-$ spins in hBN. Interestingly, we find the behaviors of the spins are completely different under the conditions of weak and relatively higher magnetic field. The former behaves like a single wide peak, but the latter behaves like multiple narrower peaks (e.g., a clear beat in Ramsey fringes). We conjecture a strong coupling of the spin with the surrounding nuclear spins, and the magnetic field can control the nuclear spin bath.

Optically active spin defects in wide-bandgap materials have many potential applications in quantum information and quantum sensing. Spin defects in two-dimensional layered van der Waals materials are just emerging to be investigated. Here we demonst
rate that optically-addressable spin ensembles in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) can be generated by femtosecond laser irradiation. We observe optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) of hBN spin defects created by laser irradiation. We show that the creation of spin defects in hBN is strongly affected by the pulse energy of the femtosecond laser. When the laser pulse number is less than a few thousand, the pulse number only affects the density of defects but not the type of defects. With proper laser parameters, spin defects can be generated with a high probability of success. Our work provides a convenient way to create spin defects in hBN by femtosecond laser writing, which shows promising prospects for quantum technologies.
Two-dimensional hexagonal boron nitride offers intriguing opportunities for advanced studies of light-matter interaction at the nanoscale, specifically for realizations in quantum nanophotonics. Here, we demonstrate the engineering of optically-addre
ssable spin defects based on the negatively-charged boron vacancy center. We show that these centers can be created in exfoliated hexagonal boron nitride using a variety of focused ion beams (nitrogen, xenon and argon), with nanoscale precision. Using a combination of laser and resonant microwave excitation, we carry out optically detected magnetic resonance spectroscopy measurements, which reveal a zero-field ground state splitting for the defect of ~3.46 GHz. We also perform photoluminescence excitation spectroscopy and temperature dependent photoluminescence measurements to elucidate the photophysical properties of the center. Our results are important for advanced quantum and nanophotonics realizations involving manipulation and readout of spin defects in hexagonal boron nitride.
Optically addressable spin defects in wide-bandage semiconductors as promising systems for quantum information and sensing applications have attracted more and more attention recently. Spin defects in two-dimensional materials are supposed to have un
ique superiority in quantum sensing since their atomatic thickness. Here, we demonstrate that the negatively boron charged vacancy (V$ _text{B}^{-} $) with good spin properties in hexagonal boron nitride can be generated by ion implantation. We carry out optically detected magnetic resonance measurements at room temperature to characterize the spin properties of V$ _text{B}^{-} $ defects, showing zero-filed splitting of $ sim $ 3.47 GHz. We compare the photoluminescence intensity and spin properties of V$ _text{B}^{-} $ defects generated by different implantation parameters, such as fluence, energy and ion species. With proper parameters, we can create V$ _text{B}^{-} $ defects successfully with high probability. Our results provide a simple and practicable method to create spin defects in hBN, which is of great significance for integrated hBN-based devices.
Optically addressable spins associated with defects in wide-bandgap semiconductors are versatile platforms for quantum information processing and nanoscale sensing, where spin-dependent inter-system crossing (ISC) transitions facilitate optical spin
initialization and readout. Recently, the van der Waals material hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) has emerged as a robust host for quantum emitters (QEs), but spin-related effects have yet to be observed. Here, we report room-temperature observations of strongly anisotropic photoluminescence (PL) patterns as a function of applied magnetic field for select QEs in h-BN. Field-dependent variations in the steady-state PL and photon emission statistics are consistent with an electronic model featuring a spin-dependent ISC between triplet and singlet manifolds, indicating that optically-addressable spin defects are present in h-BN $-$ a versatile two-dimensional material promising efficient photon extraction, atom-scale engineering, and the realization of spin-based quantum technologies using van der Waals heterostructures.
Two-dimensional hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) has attracted large attentions as platforms for realizations for integrated nanophotonics and collective effort has been focused on the spin defect centers. Here, the temperature dependence of the resonan
ce spectrum in the range of 5-600 K is investigated. The zero-field splitting (ZFS) parameter D is found to decrease monotonicly with increasing temperature and can be described by Varshni empirical equation perfectly, while E almost does not change. We systematically study the differences among different hBN nanopowders and provide an evidence of edge effects on ODMR of VB- defects. Considering the proportional relation between D and reciprocal of lattice volume, the thermal expansion might be the dominant reason for energy-level shifts. We also demonstrate that the VB- defects still exist stably at least at 600 K. Moreover, we propose a scheme for detecting laser intensity using the VB- defects in hBN nanopowders, which is based on the obvious dependence of its D value on laser intensity. Our results are helpful to gain insight into the spin properties of VB- and for the realizations of miniaturized, integrated thermal sensor.
